Abstract:In practice,the manufacturer can control the supplier’s quality by means of business insurance, hence reducing the potential business loss induced by component defects. However,the cost of business insur- ance is relatively high,which may lead suppliers to despise the seriousness of quality problems,and then a- bandon quality improvement. Based on a procurement contract decision model of two-echelon supply chains in single period under complete information,this paper studies how the manufacturer can take advantage of busi- ness insurance to manage the quality risk of supply chains. By comparing the manufacturer’s profits under the no-insurance strategy with that under business insurance strategy,it aims to explore the implementation condi- tions of the business insurance strategy,and gives the optimal purchase contract and the business insurance strategy. Theresultsshowthat: (1) Ifthesupplierissmallinsizeandpoorinanti-riskcapacity,thebusiness insurance strategy can eliminate the constraints of risk tolerance on transactions of the two parties and promote transactions; ( 2) If the supplier is large in size and strong in anti-risk capacity,the manufacturer can take ad- vantage of business insurance strategy to reduce the purchase price of components and to raise the expected profits; ( 3) The optimal strategy for the manufacturer is to insure for the full value if it insures; ( 4) The im- plementation of business insurance does not necessarily lead to a decline in component quality. When the quality cost or the supplier’s risk tolerance is relatively low,there is a complementary effect between business insurance strategy and quality improvement. When both the risk tolerance and the quality cost are high,there is a substitution effect between business insurance strategy and quality improvement.
